Winnipeg Home Sellers – Stop Leaving Money on the Table!
I often hear the argument from the end consumer that Realtors are overpaid. I completely disagree with this. I will argue that any home I list, my clients get great value for all the services I provide. Further to that, YOU, the end consumer, end up netting much more money for the sale of your home because of the value added services I provide. I stock drapery, area carpets, and artwork and will provide colour and trade service recommendations as part of my services.

Real Estate, Flowers and New Years Resolutions
When I bought my first home many years ago I wasn’t working in Real Estate yet. I was lucky enough to have a great Realtor though. Actually it didn’t start off that way. I started off with a Realtor who quite frankly was terrible. He was recommended by a friend. What was my friend thinking? Early on, my now ex-wife stated that we needed to find a new Realtor before we continued the house hunting process. One day we walked into an open house and found Claude Davis. He was with Delbro Real Estate. He was a great match for us and he became our Realtor.

The Winnipeg Realtor Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
For many of you who have read my blog in the past, you know that I left residential Real Estate in 2004 for five years to strictly focus on commercial real estate. As previously mentioned, I did this because as a single father I found that the demands of being available on nights and weekends was just too much with two young children. I needed to have a job where I was gone from 9 to 5 Monday to Friday. I had been dabbling in commercial real estate and I found it interesting so at that phase of my life it was a relatively easy choice.

Stale Bread and Pricing Your Home Properly
As a Winnipeg Realtor one of the most difficult tasks we face is pricing homes properly. This is a constant challenge. In a good market or a poorer market, many home owners I talk with have an over inflated idea of what their home is worth. This is something that almost any Realtor will tell you regardless of which city they work in. Quite often we as Realtors walk into a home and know we may not see eye to eye with the client on the value of their home. Sometimes their expectations are a little bit high, and other times they are way out of whack.
